The green fingerless glove-crochet

Mumsy crochet this great fingerless glove, (when I took the photo she was about to finish crocheting the other glove). With crochet and knitting the possibilities to come up with beautiful and imaginative creations are endless, so many ideas, so little time...

The fingerless glove-crochet

Here is one of the two fingerless gloves I recently crochet, very cosy, warm and practical. I always wear them when I blog away or I am busy crafting!

I have been experimenting...

I think I will stitch it on a knitted hat, I have never done anything like this before, quite 3D and fun; it appears huge on the photo, but the diameter measures about 8 cm. I think I might crochet other similar shapes and stitch them together, possibilities are endless!

What Mom crochet over the xmas period

...among other beautiful, warm and colourful items, Mom created a pair of fingerless gloves for our friend Pat, who often works outdoors on her farm in Derbyshire. Mom is modelling her creation in this shot.

An alternative to wrapping paper

While I was preparing Mum's birthday presents, I decided to crochet this cute little brown bag. I was not too keen on buying wrapping paper to wrap the presents, so I got myself some yarn, some gorgeous silk magenta ribbon and a glitzy pink heart that I stitched onto the bag. Mum loves the bag and now she can use it to carry her small sewing items.
